Found BH209 at Walmart in Indiana, maybe a fluke, hope it's a trend

[Wapiti1]

Anyone else seeing newer stocks of BH209? I was in Wally World today, because I didn't want to get dressed to go shopping, and there next to the paper targets, which I was really there for, were 6 bottles of BH209. Nestled in between the Pyrodex RS and the T7 pellets. This was a previously open space with a sporadic appearance of T7 powder for the last year.

I can only assume it was new since it has a label on it that I've never seen. The labels are all blue with black lettering. Not the colorful label with the prominent bison that adorns my older stock bottles.

Anyway, I bought 4. Pretty sure I violated a store policy, but the kid at the self checkout was clueless, and the system let me buy it.

Yep- It’s on the Walmart shelves here in NC.

I gotta get out of Texas. There isn't a Wal-Mart within 500 miles of me that has BP on the shelves. Most of them around me don't even carry real firearms anymore and half of them quit selling ammo. It's crazy when I go to Colorado and the Durango Wal-Mart is better stocked with BP supplies than our local Bass Pro or Cabelas. You guys have it made.

My walmart has it. I know nothing about reloading, is BH209 used for that? I know its used in muzzleloaders but I'm assuming it's used for reloading as well?

Only for reloading muzzleloaders.

It can be used for reloading blackpowder cartridges, such as 45 LC & 45-70.

The main reason is because Hodgdon bought Western Powders around the end of ‘20, which was the previous manufacturer of BH209. There were some rumors going around that it was going to be discontinued, yada yada..

Add in the increase in muzzleloading users & panic buyers with the ammo & centerfire arms shortages..

Trouble for ML's now is finding primers if they have a ML that uses shotgun primers.

Local Cabelas had a few jugs yesterday, picked them both up.

None up this way, NNY but I'm stocked for a few years as we only have 2 week season a year.

All kinds at my local Walmart today in SW Missouri. No Bor Loks though, which is what I need.

Our walmart doesn't carry it, anyone know if the would ship to store for pickup.
